Important Suggestions Made by Gen.
Black in His Annual Report.

BLACK IN HIS Annual Report.
Gen. John c. Black, commissioner of
pensions, IN his annual report to the
secretary of the interior makes the fol-
lowing important suggestions:
q. The allowance of g per month to
minor children entitled to pension is in
adequate for their support and should
be increased to 50 per month.
'2. That the act of June l6, 1880, be
so amended as to permit the benefits of
the act TO be extended to those who sub
sequent to the date of its approval from
aggravation of their malady NAV have
become helpless.
''3. That the existing law that a wild
owls pension certificate can only bear
date from the day on which she files
her application, should be amended to
allow the commencement of the pension
to date from the death of her husband,
the other conditions required by the
law being present.
~. That section AIS of the Revised
Statutes be so amended as to prohibit
the payment of more than one pension
to the same person.
''5. That the law requiring pension
to be granted according to the rank of
the claimant at the time the injury was
received should be amended SO that the
rank subsequently acquired bona fide
may be considered by the commissioner
in determining the amount of pension
TO be allowed.
''6. That the present rate for deafness
should be increased to $50 per month
for total deafness. with intermediate
grades to be determined according to
the degree of disability.
~. That discretion should be lodged
in the commissioner of correcting dis
crepancies in the rates of pension for
loss of limbs or congress should be asked
to establish table of rates for loss of
limbs.
49, That the law be amended so
that the commissioners shall be author
ized to pay the pension to the wife of
pensioner or 10 some suitable person on
behalf of his children, when the habits
of the pensioner show him to be an
unfit person to receive or dIsburse the
pension.
SO. That an appropriation of $4,000
be made to defray expenses of pension
agencies.
80. That an additional clerical force
be allowed TO enable the commissioner,
without making extra demands upon
the clerks now in service, to complete
and classify the Mexican claims, of
which $500 have been allowed since
the passage of the act"
The report shows that there were at
the close Of the year 4O6, ,007 pensioners.
There were added to the rolls during
the year the names of 80, 1914 new pen
sioners and the names of 2,707 whose
pensions had been previously dropped
were restored to the rolls. During the
same period the names of 1867 pen
siOners were dropped from the rolls

four persons were killed, and many OF
the injured cannot recover. The dIsas-
ter was caused by defective signaling.

About-A Fund to be Raised.
The Executive Committee of the new
National Labor party, initiated at the
recent English Trades congress, has Is
sued an address which is signed by
twenty-one representatives Of the
populous centers of England. Ireland,
Scotland and Wales are not yet
represented. The address an
nounCes that the party Will
have separate organization from the
trades unions. but viii cooperate with
them as far as possible The pro-
gramme is as follows: Adult suffrage,
one man to have one vote; the payment
OF members of parliament by the
state; free education; land re-
form; poor law reform; the mainte-
nance of free trade, but the abolition of
state paid bOunties; home rule and To-
cal government reform and religious
equality. The address is limited to the
bald mention of these heads,
but, read in the light of declarations
made bv the members Of the executive
committee at the congress, land reform
includes heavy taxation leading ulti-
matelv to naturalization of the land !;
free trade means reciprocity rather
than the free trade of Cobdenism,
and religious equality implies the aboi-
ton of the state church. The committee
asks that fund of $40, 900 be raised for
the first years campaign, besides local
funds for local labor candidates.

RascaIly OhiciaIs Wreck a Pennsylvania
National Bank,

JAMESTOWN, \. y, Sept. H.-Great
excitement exists in the neighboring
town Of CORY, Pa, over the failure of
the First National Bank of that place.
The affairs of the institution are
in the hands of Uuited States
Examiner Young. The deposItors
were largely working people. 1t Is said
that the bank, which carried capital
stock Of nearly 100000, has never re-
covered from losses some years ago,
through the operations of its president,
Adam Davis, and other officials. Robert
\. Marvin, the president of the de-
funct bank, is a well known resident of
this city. He is the son of Judge Rich
ard =. Marvin, and at one time was a
Republican candidate for secretary of
state Mr.. Marvin has been a large
stockhOlder in the Cory bank for many
wears, and for the past few years has
been president of the bank. President
Marvin made the following statement:
The bank has had an eyentful career;
it has been doing business for the
past twenty-five or three years, and
at one time was the most pros
porous banking institution in this sectIon'
Some wears ago the president of the
bank, Adam Davis, through his dabbling
in oil land other speculatiOns, endangered
the bank, and there have been other
matters of like nature that have
caused a detriment toward the success
of the institution. We were prepared,
however, to take care of these matters,
and had completed all arrangements to
look after the depositors who might
have been injured by Davis specula-
tons. The failure of the bank cannot
be attributed TO the past irregularities
of Davis and others, but to a more re-
cent difficulty that has come upon us
very suddenly. This is the real cause Of
the suspension"
Has there been defalcation ?" was
asked.
"Well. not exactly" replied Mr. Mar
win, seeking to avoid the direct question.
Il did not know a word Of this trouble
until three days ago, and it was a great
surprise to me. am in hopes the de-
positors viii be paid in full. Our cap
ital stock was 100000. | can not tell
whether the bank will open again or
not. 1t depends entirely on the results

SHAKEN BY THE DEAL.
Millionaires Flood ana Mackay Embar-
rassed by Speculation.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. l5.-Great
prominence is given by local newspapers
TO changes announced in the directory
Of the Nevada Bank by which ex-Sena-
tor James q. Fair again becomes
prominent stockholder and accepts the
presidency of the bank in place
of j. c. Flood, who retires, though
remaining as director. According
to the published accounts the change
was natural outcome TO the recent big
wheat deal The Post to-day says that
saving the announcement created soma
surprise in business circles is but mildly
stating the case, RS the street knew per-
fectly well that between Fair and his
ex-partners there was something IN the
nature of savage feud and especially
between Fair and Mackay who is credit
ed with having publicly made some not
very tlattering illusions about Fair and
his characteristics. Other rumOrs which
had almost drowned themselves in the
sea of speculation, f1oated up and
helped to give weight to the
theory that the Nevada Bank
or rather Flood and Mackay were
financially embarrassed and were
paying as high as per cent. for loans
and had even borrowed collateral on
on which to secure loans. The troubles
on the Nevada Bank have been brought
about, 1t is universally admitted, by late
fnanciering in the wheat deal. This fact,
Senator Fair, in an interview, virtually
admits

1t could be dimly seen that each of the
condemned men made ostentatious
efforts at cOolneSS and braYado. They
took seats at their cell doors, and read
newspapers and books, smoked ci-
gars and once Lingg, the bomb-
maker. whistled. Their wives and
friends had been with them
for an hour during the morning, but
about thirty minutes before the news
came, they were all excluded and the
prisoners locked up, each alone by HIM
self. Sheriff Matson had remained away
rom the Jail. By his orders during the
night, the guards had all been doubled.
Including the court bailitis, there were
twenty of the sheritl's men on duty,
ten turkeys and guards that are
on regular duty at the jai, and six
policemen who palrolled the alleys on
the outside. Capt. Setback brought
with him four detectives this morning,
who were stationed in The Jail courts.
Upon Capt. Setback the protection of
the Jail devOlves. lie processes to eH-
perlence no uneasiness from any at
tempts to break into the Jail and says he
has taken every precautlOn.
From the appearance of the streets in
the exterior OF the jail any one could
tell that some unusual event was going
on. As the news spread CltlZenS coat
less and some bareheaded left
their places of business and rushed
toward the Jail to verify the report.
Among the crowd growing thicker every
moment, the blanched faces of rough
looking foreigners could be seen dartlng
hither and thtther, jabbering excitedly,
with ugly grlmaces, and Clenching their
fists as they talked to one another. The
police would permit no lettering and
therefore the crowd kept marching up
and down discussing the all-absOrbing
topic.
CnIcAGo, H., Sept. IA reporter
was Capt. Black : first informant of the
decision. During the moments occupied
in giving the Anarchists senior counsel
the dread information, his face was
study. His under jaw dropped, the
right hand went up TO his forehead
with lightning-like jerk, and
he easped: "Is il possible?
Seven men to hangw Great as was his
apparent surprise his manifestation of
disappointment was greater The only
remaining course for us 10 pursue" said
he, "is to take the case 10 the United
States supreme court. | shall immedi-
ately go before the supreme court
at Ottawa and ask for reason
able time to secure a certified transcript
of the record for presentation TO the su-
preme court at Washington. Such pro-
ceedIngs are rare, but | haven't any
doubt of the courts decision on that
point" and Capt. Black rose and paced
the floor with long strides, refusing to
speak further.
